In episode 188, JW discusses beer retail trends with Jim Waskow of Craft Beer Cellar Dallas. Plus, KooTonyD brings a Modern Brews & Beats Top 5 segment of tracks from the year 2014.

Jim Waskow was previously featured on our podcast in December 2022 (episode 153). There, we spoke about his professional background in the paint industry, Cicerone training, and his interests in photography and music. So, we wanted to check with him as we wrapped 2023 and talk about his hopes for the new year (hint: there’s hopefully more music in his future).

Our brews of the week are from Meanwhile Brewing Company and False Idol Brewing. Beats-wise, we’re listening to Tall Black Guy and Neil Frances (by way of Rare Silk and Stanley Turrentine). Feel free to check out JW and Tony‘s Bandcamp pages.
